Cost of garden room

Thinking of a garden room for gym and office about 6m x 4m.

Studio style cabins quickly add up to 25k
How much would an equivalent brick version cost?

    At £2k psqm, that's £50k.


    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    We had a brick outhouse built 2016 cost about £10k I think (part of a complete garden landscaping project total £25k).

    Where in the country are you?  If you are near me, I will recommend the company we used as they are brilliant.

    £25k for a timber garden room? Nah...

    6x4 is the biggest off-the-shelf, but £14k.

    I've got one of their garages, and I'm very happy indeed with it.

    Hi Grumpy. That seems like an astonishing deal! Would you be so good as to post a photo of what you got for that money, please? And where in the country are you?

    Thanks.

    I doubt that the contractor I used will want to go as far as Edgbaston.  Maybe if you threw in tickets to the cricket?
